But we'd have to have at least one discussion as to whether or not any of these make any difference whatsoever. Perhaps Wilson?

Actually, I think it'd be more in character for him to look around the room, find something, limp over to the person, and then whack them with it. As a tribute to your professor, you could stage the scene in a room with a skeleton in it, and he could take the bone and whack the person with it.

They shipped last Wednesday (right before the holiday), 5-10-ish days, so best case scenario, I get them this week.

That is our way.

I didn't find the DT880 light in the bass at all. Not heavy, neither, but certainly not bass-lite. And I have heard bass with the K501, but that's still probably the direction I will go. Or perhaps one of the "bad" W100's -- anyone have one of those they want to sell me? I've heard those (L, I used to own them), and they might be perfect. I'm not getting her another limited headphone.

Or maybe a Beta-22.

Wanker.

I'm going to have to use that line.

Sounds like Seuss: I put it there for you to read; I put it there, though there's no need; I put it there with a smile on my face; I put it there to put you in your place; I put it there -- that's my sig's role; That's why I put it there, you assfacehole.

As a seller, it is fiscally irresponsible to put the buyer at risk of being out both his money and his product. I don't know about you, but I want my buyer to receive his merchandise -- underdeclaring it is just asking for trouble.

That's quite slow -- you've got time.

Sorry, that was news to me -- I will now bow out of this thread until I can be of service again, since I'm not contributing anything useful.

PDF? Sounds like a laptop...

Leave it to aerius...

You realize that if you're volunteering, you can also implement it yourself.

We've had one or two baletions.

I am, I really am. And I would like to think that she is, too.

Yeah, from your original post, seems like the Ed 9's are your weak link, I would definitely try other headphones.

Yes, we have dual personalities like that.

She slept with me last night. Oh, and I just wanted to commend everyone for avoiding those "that's the closest you're going to get to pussy" and "finally found a female you can keep satisfied, huh?" jokes. Took my coworkers/friends IRL all of 5 seconds to come up with those.

If you have a problem with someone's post, report it to the moderator.

Pfff.

The K501's are a good suggestion when underamped, but they're no longer being made, right? What about the K601's? I didn't know the W5000 was bass-light, I may have to try a pair, now. Thanks for the suggestions, feel free to keep them coming. How about something in the lower end of the Audio-Technica closed line? Maybe I should get a pair of the A500's, after all, since I was talking about getting a pair in that other thread. Worst case, I may have to give her an EQ to get rid of the bass frequencies (they seem to trigger some kind of distortion in her ears). Don't get me started -- that was just before they got discontinued, so I was sure I could get another pair for US$3xx, which is what I paid for the ones I gave her, formerly known as mine. They're pretty much the only ones she could hear anything on. In hindsight, I had no idea how generous I was being. I'm not saying I wouldn't have done it anyway, but if I knew then how long I'd be without a pair, I would have at least slept on it a couple more nights.

Really?!?!? I have no idea what this means, when contrasted with the power specifications.

I would rule out the Musical Fidelity -- it is good entry-level performance, but nowhere near flagship. You should also consider SACDMods-modded Denon universal player such as the 3930 (?designation), or some other familiar modder -- ModWright, perhaps? I've also considered a RAM-(Reference Audio Mods-) modded Oppo, myself.
